Thought of the Day

You are never really stuck. There is always something you can do.

Finally Friday

TGIF!! I want to wish every mother a Happy Mother's Day!! I hope you all have a great weekend and celebrate on our special day.

This weekend I just plan on spending with my family and getting a pedicure. That's my Mother's Day gift. I am also taking my mom for her Mother's Day gift.

There was 4 tornadoes that touched down in our area last night. Thank goodness I do not have damage in my immediate area. There was some damage and houses/buildings destroyed. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved.
